Digital Methods for the Study of Migration in the Aegean Region

Project summary:Our project explores data science methods for the study of mobilities in Ottoman and post-Ottoman society with a focus on the Aegean region, namely Anatolia and Southeastern Europe). We pay particular attention to the multilingual dimension of the primary sources (in Greek, Italian, Ottoman and modern Turkish, Ladino) and to the diversity concerning the causes, experiences and routes of mobility observable in the Ottoman Empire and its successor states (Turkey, Greece, Yugoslavia for Macedonia and Italy for the Dodecanese). Through two methodological workshops, a virtual seminar and a platform, we discuss tools for creating databases and visualizing them from the material already collected.
